I grab my stuff together and get up to head out of class. I walk out and see Ethan standing right outside the door. I smile and walk, him catching up to me.
"How was class?" He asks as he holds the door for me. I walk in the hallway and he follows. I head to my locker him still following.
"It was good i guess what about yours?" I ask. I open my locker and put my books inside. "It was good I guess" he smiles.
I smile, and start getting my keys out. "We can take my car" he speaks.
"I'm not going to leave my car here." I say.
"Then I will leave mine here."
"How ever you wish" I smile walking to out of the hallway, heading to the parking lots located in the back of the school.
I put my stuff in the back seats, then get in the drivers seat. Ethan joins me, and gets in my car. I turn my jeep on and turn the AC on.
"So where are we going?" I ask as I put my seat belt on.
"Go to Momma's Kitchen" he smiles.
I back out of the parking space and head to the diner.
=
We sat in one of the booths as we waited for our food.
The waitress came back and gave us our drink. As Ethan grabbed them and thanked her, I stared at him.
She goes away, and he looks over at me and smiles when he sees I'm looking at him.
"What?" He asks.
"What do you want?"
"Nothing"
"Come on Dolan." I lean on the table. "What do you want from me? You can't just gain interest in me from a day to the next. So what exactly do you want from me? Do you want to get into my pants because if you do I'm just gonna tell you now that your waisting your time, because you aren't going to it isn't that easy."
"Wow do you really think i want that? Is that what you think of me?"
"It's you we are talking about. Ethan Dolan. The guy that only wants to get into girls pants." I say leaning back on the seat.
"Believe it or not but no, I don't want that. I just want to get to know you." I look at him and say "yeah sure. well here's the thing. Once we are done here, we leave and act like we never talked, not now, not at school, and not at that party. We will go our separate ways, and go back to normal just like before last Friday. Sound good? because to me it does."
Before he can say something the lady returns with our food, she sets the plates down in front of us, both of us thanking her. She walks away, and Ethan and I start to eat.
--
As we eat, there wasn't much conversation, actually none at all. We both eat quietly. We talked to each other once again when it was time to pay.
"I invited let me pay." Ethan grabs the paper. I no longer argue back and say thank you. We get up from the booth, I leaving a tip behind. I go outside and wait for him outside my car. He walks out of the diner and starts walking away. "Where are you going?" I slightly yell.
"To get my car" he turns around. "Didn't you say after our lunch, it will be all over. well I'm sorry I was trying to get to know you, and maybe just maybe I have changed. I'm doing what you told me. Acting like nothing happened." He turns around and starts walking again in direction of the school.
I stood there looking at him go. I didn't know what to say, or what to do. Did he really change or is it all bullshit? Maybe I truly don't know him. I was judging him from all the rumors I hear. I get in my car, and turn it on. I pull out of the parking space and drive home. I pass by the school and don't see him.
When I get home I start on my homework.
--
"Bitch meet me at the diner" Kacey hangs up. ugh. I get off my bed and grab my keys. I pass by my mirror. I was now wearing shorts and a t-shirt, I have had changed when I got home. Eh it was whatever.
I let my mom know I will be back and go outside and get in my car. Once again driving to our local diner, Momma's Kitchen. I park in the same place next to Kacey. I get off, lock my car, and go inside. I see Kacey sitting in one of the booths, I head toward her and sit across from her.
"What do you want?" I ask.
"So how did it go?" she asks. "Did you really want to see me here to ask that? You know you could have ask through the phone."
"Yeah I know but I wanted to get out of the house." I shake my head and smile. "So how did it go?" she asks again.
"Well we came here, and we had lunch..."
"Wait here? where did you guys sit?"
I point across the diner to where I was sitting earlier, and she turns and looks. "Okay go on"
"Well let's just say I might have done a good choice or fucked everything up" I smile.
"Natalie what did you do" she asks.
"Well you see..." I look out the window and see the sun has completely set. "i said something."
"What did you say hoe?"
I looked outside the window once again. "Hey isn't that him" I say pointing at him. He was outside with his friends. He seemed to be arguing with another group of guys.
Kacey looks and says "yeah that's him."
Before we both knew it Ethan throws a punch at the guy he was arguing with. "Not again!" one of the cooks come out from the kitchen going outside to stop them. Both Kacey and I get up following behind. We go outside and see the cook was trying to stop them but, Ethan just won't stop punching the guy he was on top of him, beating the shit out him. Seemed like he was taking all his anger out.
"YOU GUYS STOP NOW OR I'M GOING TO CALL THE POLICE!" Yelled the cook.
"Ethan dude stop already it's not worth it" Grayson yelled, and tried to stop him. But he wouldn't stop, he kept going.
The cook starts heading back inside lastly saying, "that's it."
"Ethan stop!" I yelled.
A moment later, he stops throwing one last punch and get off the almost dead guy. He looks up at me, and we just stare at each other, until he leaves with his friends.
The other guys help their friend and leave as well. It was just Kacey and I standing outside in the parking lot.
